Chapter 96
Qiao Yuan was awakened by the movement, and the coachman's anxious voice came from outside the curtain.
"Ma'am, it looks like something has been split up ahead."
The coachman was terrified.
Just now, the thunder just hit an old tree beside the road in front of it. Smoke was still rising from the break, and a thick trunk fell across the road.
The carriage was forced to stop, Qiao Yuan frowned, and had to ask someone to move the fallen tree trunk first.
Trapped in the carriage, unable to do anything, Qiao Yuan drank tea made by Green Sleeves out of boredom.
The rain outside hasn't stopped yet, and the sky is getting dark.
After drinking a cup of tea, Qiao Yuan saw that several attendants hadn't come back, so he was about to go down to have a look.
"Wait a minute ma'am."
Zhou Lian stood beside the car, seeing that she was about to get off, took off the cloak on her body, folded several layers and spread it on the ground.
Due to the prolonged rain, the road surface remained waterlogged.
Beauty Xiao Qiao is such a spoiled person, there is no part of her body that is not expensive, she wears Shu brocade embroidered soft-soled shoes, if she just steps on them like this, the whole shoe will be soaked in water.
Qiao Yuan hesitated for a moment, and carefully stepped on the cloak on the ground while holding up her skirt.
A few attendants in front were still moving the tree, and it seemed that they still couldn't figure it out for a while.
It was not only raining outside, but also windy. A few strands of hair from Qiao Yuan's ears were blown down and stuck to her lips.
Zhou Lian looked away, and respectfully asked his wife to go back to the carriage to rest.
Just as Mrs. Zhen Guo was greeted into the car, Zhou Lian drew the curtain to prevent the rain from drifting in. When he turned around, he heard the sound of horseshoes.
The sound of hoofbeats was rapid, and a person riding a black horse rushed into view.
Zhou Lian just thought it was a passerby, and didn't take it seriously, and turned his head after a glance.
The sound of hooves from far to near.
Zhou Lian raised his head, but saw a man in coir raincoat stopped not far away, looking down at him.
As they got closer, Zhou Lian could clearly see the man's appearance under the bamboo hat. He was a rough and handsome man, with dark eyes that were rare in Shangjing.
The man didn't speak, just stared at him.
Zhou Lian grew up in a poor family and suffered a lot. He had never seen any kind of eyes, but when he met this man's dark and bottomless eyes, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and froze in place.
"Give her back to me."
The man's voice appeared cold and piercing in the dim rain, like a ghost crawling out of hell.
"What?" Zhou Lian didn't understand. Seeing that he didn't look like a good person, he looked more like a vicious desperado. Cold sweat broke out on his back.
Today, Qiao Yuan came to visit Mother Qiao in simple clothes, but no matter how low-key she was, the sound of horse hooves was rushing, and a person riding a black horse burst into view.
Zhou Lian just thought it was a passerby, and didn't take it seriously, and turned his head after a glance.
The sound of hooves came from far and near.Zhou Lian raised his head, but saw a man in coir raincoat stopped not far away, looking down at him.
As they got closer, Zhou Lian could clearly see the man's appearance under the bamboo hat. He was a rough and handsome man, with dark eyes that were rare in Shangjing.
Qiao Yuan came to visit Qiao's mother today in plain clothes, but no matter how low-key he was, the carriage behind him was decorated with jeweled necklaces, and there were few people around. In the eyes of these unruly people, it was a windfall.
"This strong man must have some misunderstanding. This is a car from the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. It stopped here in the rain. Our servants are still in front."
Zhou Lian moved out of the Zhenguo Palace and talked about the guards, hoping to scare the man in front of him.
Da Zhuang repeated: "Give her back to me."
It was raining heavily, and Zhou Lian's hand holding the oil-paper umbrella almost had to use all his strength to hold it steady. The man was riding on a horse wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, and his tall and straight body was not affected at all.
You won't meet a lunatic, will you?Zhou Lian smiled wryly in his heart, even if this person didn't have a weapon in his hand, he didn't doubt that cutting them was as easy as killing fish.
Even though he was worried in his heart, Zhou Lian did not dare to relax, pretending to be calm and said: "Brother, there is something difficult, if you want money, just ask, and I am willing to give you all your belongings."
If it's only for money, it's the best solution. I'm most afraid that this person will start killing people for money.Zhou Lian watched the man's expression carefully, seeing that he was unmoved, his heart tightened.
Da Zhuang hurriedly rode his horse all the way to catch up, eager to see his wife, but seeing this frail man standing in front of the carriage and saying something that didn't make sense, he became even more impatient.
He remembered that just now when he heard the two concierges bring his wife and this young master together, for a moment, fear really arose in his heart.
Even though the family background of this young cousin is very different from that of the Duke of Zhenguo, at least he has a clean family background and is still a candidate for the imperial examination. If he gets married to the Duke, he will be ridiculed at most like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, but at least he and his wife are Names can appear openly in outsiders' mouths.
Even though Da Zhuang's current closeness to his wife is far from comparable to that of his young cousin, this alone is enough to drive him crazy with jealousy.
Zhou Lian saw that the man's face was getting colder and colder. Sure enough, in the next second, he caught the killing intent in the man's eyes.
It was as if he was caught by a beast in an instant, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. His keen sense of danger reminded him to run quickly, but his body seemed to be frozen as if he couldn't move.
As if in slow motion, Zhou Lian saw the man slowly raise his hand -
In the carriage behind him, it seemed that the people in the carriage heard something moving outside, and then there was the sound of the curtain being opened.
Zhou Lian's heart couldn't stop sinking, he was a scholar, he died as soon as he died, but if something happened to Mrs. Tangtang Township here, it would not be as simple as a few people dying.
To make matters worse, Zhou Lian's eyes flashed before the beauty standing under the umbrella, the water vapor condensed on the crow's eyelashes, which complemented the flowing water eyes.
Sure enough, when the gangster heard the sound, his eyes moved almost invisibly, and then he drove the horse slowly towards the carriage.
Zhou Lian was tense all over, standing in front of the carriage without moving.
"Big strong."
A delicate voice, as if filled with honey, came from the carriage behind her.
At the same time, the man passed Zhou Lian on a horse.
Wu Chen looked away from him, as if the pressure of dying had eased a lot, Zhou Lian turned his head in astonishment.
The gangster who just seemed to be about to attack at any moment quickly concealed his murderous aura and called out "Madam" with a low eyebrow.
The little beauty thought it was troublesome to get out of the car, so she just leaned out, and the tail of the clean smoked veil fell on the shaft of the car, as light as a cloud, and asked him in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
